Session Description

I will introduce novel quantitative CT and functional MRI methods and how these can be used for rapid, simultaneous and non-invasive measurements in patients with long-COVID.

I will summarize the current state of the art findings in patients with long-COVID and the relationships between thoracic imaging measurements, exercise limitation, dyspnea and quality of life.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

  • Discuss how CT may be used to identify quantitative abnormalities in long-COVID
  • Recognize relationship of functional MRI abnormalities and quality-of-life in long-COVID
  • Understand the quantitative relationships between pulmonary vascular and terminal airway abnormalities in long-COVID
